Manchester United without nine players vs West Ham as four teenagers set for squad

Manchester United will be without nine players when they face West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Erik ten Hag's side are back in action following their midweek draw with Fenerbahce and will hope to extend their unbeaten run from four matches to five.

It is easier said than done though, with United still without a couple of key players for the trip to the London Stadium. United suffered a fresh injury blow in midweek, as Antony was forced off through injury, and although he might not be a fan favourite, he is ahead of Amad Diallo in the pecking order.

United are also without injured midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount, though they will be boosted by the return of club captain Bruno Fernandes after he served a one-match European ban in midweek.

Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro are both missing in defence and are not expected back until next month at the earliest, while neither Luke Shaw or Tyrell Malacia are match fit yet amid their ongoing rehabilitation period from injury.

United are also expected to be without academy duo Toby Collyer and Dan Gore, who have both been named in matchday squads this season, but have not been spotted in any of the latest training imagery. It means youngsters Ethan Wheatley, Harry Amass, Jack Fletcher and Habeeb Ogunneye could all be in the first-team squad to face West Ham after they were all left out of the U21 side that defeated Newcastle on Saturday.
